“Iwata Asks” is a column on the Wii website written by Satoru Iwata, President and CEO of Nintendo. In the latest entry, Iwata interviewed Masahiro Sakurai, the game concept designer behind Kirby and the Super Smash Bros. series.

Before he dived into the interview though, Iwata expressed his apologies to fans for the delay of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, saying:

With the completion of the game falling behind schedule, we were unable to keep our promised release date, despite our greatest efforts in attempting to release this game on time. I would like to extend my most sincere apology to all of our customers that are anticipating the titleÂ’s release […].

He then proceeds into the interview with 37-year-old Sakurai. They talk about the development process that went into the making of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

They went back to the very roots of the game, right back to the E3 event of 2005. They later talk on the more administrative aspects of the game’s development, namely office and staff concerns.

This is only the first part of the interview. Iwata will probably be releasing the next parts soon. Check out the interview for yourself by following the read link below and check back for updates.
